HP: nx9420 (RB550UA#ABA)
First to recommend
Description
Because my employer is in the real estate and finance industry, Windows computers is all they use. The new rig for my job is the RB550UA#ABA build of the HP nx9420 (A true desktop replacement laptop). I won't get into how amazing this computer is or the fact that it isn't as flashy as the HP dv9000t. I will say that my nx9420 has the following:
- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7400 (2.16-GHz with a 4-MB L2 Cache)
- 2-MB SDRAM (Maxes out at 4!!!)
- 100-GB 7200 rpm SATA Hard Drive
- 17.0 inch WSXVGA+ Screen
- Integrated Intel Pro Wireless and Bluetooth
And much, much more...

Radar: Instant Picture Conversations
2 people recommended this item
Description
Radar is truly a great new site. Granted, I was introduced by their PR person. It is basically Moblogging on a much more personal level. For those of your friends that are on Radar, you can create groups so that you can limit who sees what pictures and conversations. The groups option is very nice as there may be people who get annoyed of your homeless person picture collection or shoe pictures, so you just don't include them on that list. What can you loose, the service is free and very interesting. (via nuroots)

JBL On Stage Speakers for iPod
5 people recommended this item
Description
The JBL "On Stage" is a perfect desk accessory. Not only does the On Stage have the capacity to be used with your iPod, it can also be plugged into the speaker jack on your laptop or computer. The On Stage is constantly sitting next to my laptop so that I can bypass the week laptop speakers and listen to my music loud and clear. Besides being the perfect desk accessory, the On Stage travels well and is extremely easy to use while traveling. The On Stage goes every where we (GF & myself) go.

Uniden TRU9465 Cordless 5.8 GHz Digital Phone
First to recommend
6 people recommended this item
Description
Because I have the luxury of working from home, I was in search of a cordless phone that had speaker phone capability from both the base unit and the handset. The Uniden TRU9465 met all my requirements. Granted the phone doesn't have some of the higher end bells and whistles as other phones, but it is a high quality product. The phones do not interfere with the wireless network in the house and the sound is crystal clear. The great thing is the phone system is expandable up to 10 different handsets (just in case you have a mansion).
From Uniden:
The Uniden TRU9465 is the next generation of 5.8 GHz cordless phones. It's a full-featured Digital answerer, with a Dialing keypad and a speakerphone. The enhanced IntegriSound improves Audio quality, for the most lifelike sound available. 5.8GHz frequency

Trillian (Instant Messenger)
First to recommend
7 people recommended this item
Description
Trillian is a great application for those of us that use multiple instant messaging services and accounts. I personally use Yahoo!, AIM and MSN. Trillian allows me to run one application and have access to all three services. Trillian also supports ICQ and IRC. The application is free for the basic version, and I don't recommend buying the pro version as there is almost no difference.
Basically, it is a great free application that allows you to run multiple instant messaging platforms at the same time.
*** For those of us running a Windows computer and not a Mac

SIRIUS Satellite Radio - The Best Radio On Radio
First to recommend
10 people recommended this item
Description
Sirius satellite radio is my choice of all (I think there is really only two) the satellite radio services. I was lucky enough to have it in my ride and also be able to listen online as well. The programming is top notch as they have tons of commercial free music, sports, talk, comedy, you name it and they have it. I believe Sirius provides much better programming than XM as I have listened to XM as well. While XM is still playing catch up with their programming, Sirius is still leading the way.
Now, anybody can have Sirius with all the new products that come out from mobile satellite receivers, desktop receivers and even plug and play car kits.
Just a sample of the programming:
Music
-Chill (Downtempo, Nu Jazz)
-Pure Jazz (Jazz)
-Rolling Stones Radio (Rolling Stones and Rock and Roll)
-Boombox (Breakbeats and Electro Rock)
Sports
-NFL
-NBA
-NHL
-English Soccer
News
-US News
-Financial News
-Public Radio
Entertainment
-Comedy
-Talk
-Family & Kids
-Religion
Sirius Exclusives
-Howard Stern
-Martha Stewart
-Jerry Rice
-Rolling Stones Radio
As you can see there is something for everybody. Check it out if you get a chance as they have a free trial for listening online.

Description
Audible.com is a great resource for "books on tape" (for lack of a better term). I use Audible mostly for business and non-fiction books as they don't require much imagination. For fiction books, I tend to read them as I like to use my imagination while I read. Audible has plans that start at $9.95 on up to $22.95. Audible is actually a good deal when you consider you might pay over $20.00 for a new book at a traditional brick and mortar store, when you can actually get the book from Audible for around $15.00.

SanDisk- miniSD Cards (1GB)
First to recommend
Description
SanDisk miniSD cards are great. I actually own two of them. I use one for my phone that holds my programs, files and music, then I also use another one for my camera as it comes with an adapter to fit standard SD slots. My next purchase will be the 2GB miniSD card. The amount of storage available on SD cards these days is truly amazing.

Description
I am fairly new to the whole blogging world and TypePad has made it extremely easy. Granted I have dabbled in web and graphic design, but the amount of time it would have taken me to design the entire blog would have been very discouraging. I decided to do a personal (I am nothing close to the professionals such as Kristopher or Aunt Beep) blog so my friends and family back in California could see what was going on in my life while in Brooklyn.
TypePad with its ease of use, ease of design and overall ease of blogging has helped make blogging fun and exciting. Give it a try, I mean they have a free trial and it couldn't hurt.
